Before they do a remake of any film, they should poll fans to find out what they liked and what they didn’t like in the original. For instance:

Logan’s Run: What was good:

Great costumes. Girls can still wear cute dresses. They don’t have to wear pants. And they can also have their hair styled. Jenny Agutter was magnificent. The Sandman costumes were also good, simple and distinctive.

A few of the other sci-fi bits, like the body dissolving spray.

What wasn’t:

Ridiculously expensive but still fake looking cityscapes, even though the city sets were really good.

“Box”, the robot, who in the previews seemed to be a major character, but in the movie got about one minute of screen time. Not a very threatening-looking robot either.

Those agonizingly low tech green holograms used during the interrogation.

The handguns had possibilities, but were mis-used and overused.

The scenes in the decrepit capitol building were almost embarrassing.

Hopefully it will not be “TRON: Voyager” (think star trek)
